New Yors, Sunday, May 22, 1859. ‘The News. The steamship Vanderbilt arrived at this port yesterday from Southampton, having, as will be Been by a transcript of her log, given in another column, made the passage in nine days, nine hours and twenty-six minutes—the quickest on record. She brings details of European news to the 11th instant, of which we give an interesting compila- tion in to-day’s paper, together with letters from our correspondents at Paris, Berlin and St. Peters- burg, containing accounts of the progress of affairs at those capitals. The principal points of the in- telligence, however, have been anticipated by the arrival of the City of Baltimore off Cape Race. Her news reached us by telegraph from St. Johns on Friday night, and was published in yesterday morning’s Hprap. We have advices from Turks Island to the 16th ult. The Standard says:—There is little change to note in our salt market this week. Since our last about 38,000 bushels have been shipped from the different ports of entry in this colony. We have agood supply on hand. No change in price bas taken place since fast quotations. We have additional files from Barbadoes to the 6th inst., but the papers do not contain any later news. The steamship Ocean Queen, of the Vanderbilt Line, left this port yesterday for Southampton, on her first voyage. There was a large crowd of spec- tators at the wharf to witness her departure. She carried out 249 passengers and $1,495,359 in specie. ‘The Kangaroo also sailed yesterday, for Liverpool. She took out 270 passengers and $720,029 in specie. ‘The shipment of specie during the past week was unusually heavy. In addition to the amounts taken . from New York, the Niagara, which left Boston on Wednesday last for Liverpool, took out $1,040,000, making the total shipment to Europe $3; 38. ‘be official returns of the vote in Massachusetts npon the constitutional amendment imposing a two years restriction upon naturalized citizens show that the majority for the law was 5,624. The total vote polled was 35,852—less than one-fourth of the vote of the State. According to the official report there we: deaths in the city during the past week, a decr of 16 as compared with the mortality of the week previous, and 23 less than occurred in the corres- g week of last year. Of the whole number 179 were of ten years of age and under, and 57 in- mates of the various public institutions. The fol- lowing table shows the number of deaths for the past two weeks among adults and children, distin- guishing the sexes:— se Men. Women. Boys. Girls. Total. Week ending May 14..77 71-120 L879 Week ending May 21 70 of 04 863 Among the principal causes of death were the following :— Disearve. May 14. May 21.

There were also 4 deaths of apoplexy, 9 of co gestion of the brain, 8 of croup, 4 of dysenters of typhus fever, 8 of disease of the heart, 2 of hooping cough, 2 of teething, 4 premature births, 22 stillborn, and 15 from violent causes, including 2 murders. The annexed table shows what portions of the human system have been most affected:— The number of d responding weeks in 1857 and 1858, was as fol- lows:— ‘Week ending May 23, 1857 ‘Week nding May 22) 1 Week ending May 21; The nativity table gives 239 natives of the United States, 69 of Ireland, 32 of Germany, 3 of England, 4 of Scotland, and the balance of various foreign countries. The cotton market was firmer, but not active. The sales embraced about 500 bales, at an advance of about co. per lb, Middling uplands were quoted at 11%. Flour rallied yesterday, and closed at better prices, having in ‘Some cases advanced from 26c. a 30c. per bbl., chiefly on the low grades. Southern flour was also better, but sales ‘were moderate. Wheat was firmer, while transactions were limited. Corn was inactive and sales light, while ‘Prices were without change of moment. Pork was somo- ‘what firmer and in fair demand, with sales of mess at $17 2% 0 $17 37, prime mess at $18 a $20, and prime at $15 8 $16 25. Beet was steady, and Jard somewhat firmer. The sales of sugar embraced about 1,000 hhds., chiefly Tefining goods of Cuba, with some lots of New Orleans at Btoady prices. Coffee was quiet, but steady. Freight en- Gagements were moderate, while rates exhibited no change of importanoe. Tur Broapway Mercnayts iy toe Ricut.— ‘We understand that the merchants of Broadway, who have been for a long time contributing their quota to the expense of keeping that street clean, have determined to resume the work now suspended, on Tuesday next, entirely at their own cost, unless the authorities conclude to re- sume it before that time. This is an excellent example, which should be followed by the resi- dents of other localities. Heretofore Broadway has ‘een in moderately good condition, but the rest of the clty is a disgrace to any cfvilized commu- nity. The spoil-hunting authorities will do nothing to rid us of the dangerous nuisance, and the sooner the people of the different wards adopt the same measure os the Broadway mer- chants the better. Let ward meetings be held, and street cleaning committees appointed, be- fore a pestilence is upon us. 4 The Nigger Question in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, Within a few days of the Virginia clec- tion we turn to the Richmond papers for information concerning the probable result, and discover, first, from the Znguirer, that “Mr. Letcher will be elected Governor,” but that “every vote will be wanted to swell the majori- ty, to increase Virginia’s condemnation of the unholy alliance of Botts and Goggin, Virginia Know Nothingism and New York black republi- canism.” Secondly, the Wiig cries out, “Oh, the shame and the humiliation that will come upon Virginia should the people, in partisan madness and folly, elect John Letcher;” but, “in our belief, there is no probability of the happen- ing of such an event.” Between these two partisan organs we must conclude, from the unvaried democratic antece- dents of Virginia, and from the folly of the new opposition party there in attempting to “ out. Herod Herod” on the nigger issue, that Letcher will be elected; but we can say that in the mat- ter of Congressmen there will be no longer an undivided democratic delegation. The seat oc- cupied in the late Congress by Smith, tacetiously styled “Extra Billy,” will certainly, we think, be taken by the opposition candidate this time, between the two democratic candidates running; and the democracy may, perhaps, from similar disaffections, lose another district or two, In re- ference to the next Preaidency, the general re- sult in Virginia will scarcely ruffle the existing organizations of partics, if we may judge from the contracted nigger issue upon which both sides bave conducted the'campaign. In Kentucky, between squatter sovereignty and Congressional sovereignty over the nigger question in the Territories, the democracy and the opposition are both in a very curious fix. Bell, the opposition candidate for Gov- ernor, (not John Bell, of Tennessee,) takes the bold ground occupied by the ultra Southern democracy elsewhere, that it is the duty of Congress to pass laws for the special pro- tection of slavery in the Territories; while the democracy are divided upon the subject, one de- tachment advocating this same doctrine, and an- other upholding the Douglas dictum of squatter soverciguty. Thus, it is possible that the Ken- tucky democracy, upon this disagreemeat and division on the nigger issue, may be defeated in the coming August election. There is some vitality given to this division of the party from the circumstance that Kentucky has two demo cratic candidates for the Presidency—Breckin- ridge and Guthrie—the former a squatter sov reignty man, and the latter a believer in Con- grestional intervention. It must also be consi- dered that, down to 1856, Kentucky was a staunch and decided opposition State, and that in getting the democracy there in a snarl on the nigger question, and in getting Know Nothing- ism out of the way, the opposition have a fair field for recovering their old ascendancy. There is also a pretty fair prospect for the op- position in Tennessee, the suffrages of which, and of Kentucky, constituted the electoral Southern vote of General Scott in 1852. Tennessee, it is thus evident, may now be recovered by the op- position; but the democracy there of late years bave secured so firm a footing that, demoralized as the party is as a national organization, it will require a tremendous effort to dislodge them in the local fight of the coming summer. In the aggregate, we have no doubt that these impending elections in Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, will settle the question conclusively in favor of a third party in the contest of 1860 somewhat similar, on political issues, to the third party of 1856, but wholly different in reference to Know Nothingism, end much stronger from being re- lieved of that repulsive excrescence of ignorauce, bigotry, ruffianism and proscription. Tue Taree Dynasties or France.—The three dynasties of France—the Bonaparte, the Bourbon and the Orleanist—occupy curious positions in the present war. The reigning head of the Bonaparte family is the leader of the al- lied armies of France and Sardinia, and is on the eve of taking the field against Austria, The head of the Bourbon branch, Count de Cham- bord, who has resided in Austria for the last twenty years, has abandoned the protection which that couutry afforded him in exile, and retired to Holland, refusing to remain under the flag of a nation at war with his beloved France; and the Orleanist branch, in the person of the young Duke de Chartres, on the declaration of war joined the army of Sardinia and the cause of Italian independence, consenting to fight in the ranks whereof the occupant of the throne of France is the acknowledged leader. But the elder branches of the Orleans family, being opposed to the course of the young Duke, who, following the example of his ancestors— Philip Egalité and Louis Philippe—is anxious to fight on the side of the republicans, have re- called him to London from his position as Lieu- tenant in Victor Emanuel’s army. The Count de Chambord, not being a soldier, has undoubtedly done the best he could in with- drawing from the Austrian dominions; and the young Orleanist followed the natural im- pulses of chivalrous youth in accompanying his comrades to the battle field; but we think his uncles have pursued an unwise policy in re- calling him from a position where he might have won some ¢clat for the Orleans dynasty before the eyes of the French army, which might have been turned to some purpose in the uncertain fature of the destinies of the present ruler of Fran Tlenry V. has thus gained the advan- tage in the race of the two outside royal houses Dors Mr. Crirrexpen Back Ovr?—A little paragraph to this effect is going the rounds o the newspapers :—A republican in Washington having proposed to Hon. John J. Crittenden that the republicans should make him their candi date for President in 1860, he replied, “I could not carry @ single Southern State as your candi date; and how many could you carry North with me for your candidate? The party would sink me in the elave States, and J should sink the party in the free States. No, sir. It is not your policy to take up a Southern slaveholder.” Now, whether such are or are not the views of Mr. Crittenden, there is considerable force in them, and they are doub‘less the views which now govern, and will continue to govern, thy leaders of the republican party. They will not Vor up a Southern slaveholder, fur the all- sufficient reason that the South is closed against NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1859. this republican party any how. They will be compelled to adbere to their Northern organiza" tion and their Northern support on the slavery {ssue; and so the conservative old line whigs and Americans of the South and of the North would do well to determine, as soon as possible, what they mean to doin 1860. If they act in season, they may contro) the issue of the battle— if they wait for the opening of some back door into the republican church, they may wait till their forces are frittered away. Perhaps they are awaiting the results of the Virginia election. Very well. Before the end of the week we shall have them, and then let us have, one way or another, some definite movement of the conserva- tive opposition elements of the whole country. Toe War anp tHE Brimise Peace So- cmty,—What has become of the British Peace Society, and all its great guns, of which we have heard so much for many years? In time of profound tranquillity it agitated furiously for peace, and a journal in this city, which endorses every ism and political sect as it turns up, published numerous editorials backing its efforts to bring about a millenium of universal peace in the world, when the lion and the lamb should lie down together, and cannons should be turned into ploughs, and bayonets into reaping hooks, and war and all its weapons and diabolical arts should be forgotten from pole to pole. But now, when a terrible war, which bas been long threatened, has at last commenced, we do not hear a word against it from the Peace Society or its organs. When the Crimean con- flict began, a deputation of the Society went to Nicholas, Emperor of Russia, to remonstrate with bim against the iniquities and horrors of war. He told them he did not want war; he only desired to act the part of the good Sa- maritan, and take care of the “sick man” in Turkey; and that they had better use their influence nearer home. Every- body laughed at the ludicrous position of the Peace Society delegates from England dissuading the Russian Emperor from war, while he was at- tacked by England herself, in alliance with the other greatest Power of Europe. During all the notes of preparation for the Italian campaign the agitators of the Peace Society appear to have been as “dumb dogs which could not bark,” sentinels who were unfaithful at their posts while the enemy was making his approach. Even now, when hostilities have actually commenced, sthey give no sign of life—there are no indigna- tion meetings, no emphatic protest on behalf of bumanity in the face of a war that is likely to extend all over Europe. What, we again ask, has become of the Peace Society? Even the popular sensation preachers, who denounce pugilism, theatres, lager bier saloons, Sunday recreations and slavery, as “the sum of all villany,” and who descant by the hour ca the crimes of the heathen, appear vot to have a word to say on the subject of the great fight in Italy, which is to deluge its plains with buman blood, and spread, perhaps, all over the continent of Europe, and in the end to Great Britain herself— the imperial and royal bruisers being not only Christians, but each invoking the God of Christ- ians and of battles as to the justice of his cause, and locking to Heaven for a blessing on his arms. The elder Napoleon was not so hypo- critical, for he said Providence was always on the side of the heaviest artillery. Cannot Chee- ver and Beecher, and all the rest, rise to “the height of this great argument,” and denounce royal Christian sinners of enormous magnitude, or do they waste all their ammunition on pagan darkness and the sins of the Sunday newsboys? Tue Cororep Porviatioy Cosme Ovt Srronc.—Within the past few days we have been hoxzored with the visits of three bright, in- telligent, handsome, likely and clever gentlemen of color, who are about going into the Liberian trade on their own account. One has been a Cabinet Minister and a member of the Liberian Congress, who lately arrived here in his own ship, under the flag of Liberia. The others have been distinguished barbers in this city—cutting, curling and sbaving with care, and to bald heads (as the distich hath it) restoring the. hair. Now they have left shaving altogether, and have gone into the shipping and commission business. They intend to have a house here and another at Monrovia, with a regular line of packets—at least four—piying between the two points. Their pioneer ship is the bark Mendi. They will have a small steamer to run along the coast from Cape Palmas to Monrovia, touching at intermediate points to collect freight and pas- sengers for the American packet. As the British steamers do not now touch at Monrovia, this steamer will likewise be usefal in carrying the mail. The business, both on shore and ship- board, will be transacted entirely by colored men, We wish our colored friends all good fortune in their new undertaking. If they sball succeed in opening direct trade between this metropolis and Liberia, and carry it on in a spirited way, so as to stir up the old fogies of the Colonization Society, who have been satisfied with sending one or two ships to Monrovia every year, it may do all bands a great deal of good. Colored men are generally good sailors, more peaceuble, do- cile and humane than the white slaves of the forecastle, and it is no mere than fair that they should have an opportunity to rise to command a crew of their peers, provided they are compe- tent to doso. Again, the African trade in su- gar, camwood, coffee, palm oil, ivory, gold dust, &c., may be made much more profitable and ex- tensive than it now is. If the new hands will persevere, there can be but little doubt that they will have good freights and full passenger lists. Tue Baptist Anyiversartes—We to-day close our reports of the May anniversaries with a record of the Aoings of the Baptist denomina- tion, whose annual gatherings duriag the past weck have brought up the rear of the religious column. We regret to say that our report is a continuation of the record of strife. The Bap- tists have long ago had their fight on the slavery question, and its consequent split into Church North and Church South; but the “old man Adam” has by no means been subdued. There being no “nigger question” to quarrel about, they have been squabbling for thé spoils, or at leust for precedence in the office of holding the bag. The denomination, numbering over a mil- lion of communicants, has been supporting for years past some half adozen benevolent and missionary societies, and complaints have re- cently been very generally made that it cost too much to carry on their operations, or, as expressed by one of their clergymen, that it costs two dollars to send one dollar to the beathen. Hence a convention was held last week to unite various of these societies, and 80 cut down the number of presidents, secretaries and managers, whose services had been required in forwarding the dollars, The Convention recom- | mended a partial consolidation, though not with great unanimity; but the societies affected, or rather their managers, each opposed the project as ruinous, with the sole exception, we believe, of the Bible Society, whose affairs are represented as already in a “sinking” condition, The Pub- lication Society, which it Is proposed to saddle with the Bible Society, was especially hostile to the proposition, and only yielded to outside pres- ture £0 far as to refor the subject to their Execa- tive Committee, which will have the effect of staving off action for another year. There was no attempt to “consolidate” the Missionary Union with any other society; but the reformers introduced a project of amending its constitution s0 as to do away with life membership and the cumbrous Board of Managers, which appears to be about as useful as the fifth wheel of a coach. In this they were opporcd by the “ old fogies,” and the plan of substituting annual representa” tion of churches for life membership and moneyed inflaence was defeated. The reformers did suc- ceed, however, in curtailing the purses and pre- rogatives of the managers, simplifying somewhat tbe machinery of their missionary operations, and opening the way for further amendments another year. We congratulate them on their partial success, aud wish them better luck next time, THE LATEST NEWS. Visit of the New England Knight Templars to the President—Mr, Buchanan’s Address to his Visitors, d&. . OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON DESPATCH. Wasuoton, May 21, 1859. ‘The Knight Templars did not arrive here last evening until quite iate, and owing to the inclemency of the wea- iber their visit to the President was postponed until to lay, at twelve o'clock. At the appointed hour they mached up to the White House, and were shown into the East Room, when soon thereafter the President appeared and was presented to the Knights by Col. Freuch, ina neat speech, ‘The President responded as follows:—I am rejoiced to receive the Knights in the Executive mansion of the coun. try. Tam always rejoiced to find a large and respectable portion of our couatrymen from the North on a visit to the South, They have partaken of Southern hospitali- ty, I have no doubt, at Richmond; and if they wert to Richmond with any prejudices against the South, 1 feel confident they have been removed by their intercourse with that warm hearted and generous people; and althevgh they never wili be called upon to defend their Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, as had the Knight Templars of old, yet I have no doubt they will be ready to defoud what is equally valuable—the constitution and the union of the country—not with swords, but with moral influ. ence, and with the strength aad power of their example. (4pplause.) The Uniou is, indeed, the most precious legacy left to us by our ancestors—tho most precious legacy that ever any people enjoyed. Tho race of Revolutionary patriots and heroes has passed away. That sacred deposit is committed to the men of the present generetion, and I trust that every man, invidually, will make it a matter of conscience and of pride to exert all just influence to perpetuate our glorious institutions, and to preserve the constitution and Union for generations to come. (Applause.) I thank you all, gentlemen, for the bonor of this visit, and ehall be very happy to clasp tho band of each one of you. ‘When they were about to dopart the Providence Band, of which Mr. Green is leader, and the best bugler extant, siruck up “Auld Lang Syne.’”’ The scene was impressive, and the President manifested much emotion.

It appears from Dr. Gardner’s note that the Geoeral Admiral is about to fulfl a charitable purpose before en- gaging in the destructive service of war:— Satunpay, May 21, 1859.

Tt is asserted that in accordance with the provisions of the charter, leaving it optional with the government to purchase the vessels at the expiration of their service in Paraguay, the steamers formerly belonging to tho Crom- well line and utefully employed on the coast, will become a permanent addition to our little navy. The vesse's in question ‘are of course worth more than the price of their charter, {$130,000,”’ for some purposes, but decided ly not as means of destruction to any but their own crower. It would in the end be cheaper and bettter to pay $130,- 000 in addition to the charter money to have them taken off our hands. It requires neither naval nor nautisal ex- perience—in fact, nothing more than the commonest kind of common senee—te determine that theee vessels are to- tally inacequate fer any gervice as war steamers. They are, and always will be, as useless as they are unsightly, 13 it from motives of economy that such vessels are em- ployed? The cosé of each one of them will sooa, if it bas not already done 80, exceed that of an an efficient steam sloop. Is the navy already reduced so low in popular es. mation that it will net be further disgraced by the pro- posed addition? The very onject of showing our flag in foreign ports—to inspire respect for our maritime power— will be defeated, by proving that we are reduced to the necessity, or that we are foolish enough, to risk its honor upon such despicable make-shifts. These steamers will be too conspicuous a8 blemithes in our small naval force, If that force must be small, let it at least be respectable iu character and appear: If Mr. Cromwell desire it, let him have bis same: , much improved for purposes by being somewhat streugthenea, but by no means uptothe mark for men-of war. Nothing but ex treme necessity could ever justity their employment by government for war pur, poses. NAUTICUS, United States Commissioner's Court, Before George W. Morton, Esq. May 14.—Charge of Revolt and Mutiny.—James Farrer and three others, of the crew of the ship Constellation, were committed for examination on charges of assault and battery and revolt. CHARGE OF COUNTERFEITING. On Thursday last, Lorenzo de Av States Marshal of this district, in company wita Deputy Sheriff Anderson, and another officer of this city, arrested Jacob Williams, who ig charged with making coin of the United States, and also with manufacturing some well executed bilis on the following banking institutions:--$1's altered to $5 and $109 on the Auburn City Bank; the Syracuse City Bank; tae Broadway, New York; the Stoe wnd Leather, and the Brookiyn Bank. These bills aro finished by what is cailed the raising process, and are well calgulated to deceive the best judges of papersmuoney on the closest scrutiny. From certain documents found on the person of Williama, the officers went- to a village called Cailemet, near Syracuse, and by virtue of » war- rant arrested two men named Sims and Bishop. In their possession dies and moulds, &c., were found, and plates of bill on various banking establishments in the United States and Canada. The officers, with these prisoners, took @ conveyance to reach Syracuse, but having to halt 4 little to ascend a hill, Sims leaped out of the wagon, and was followed by De Angeli, who was armed with @ re. volver, and after two shots brought down his man, and safely delivered both prisoners to the autavrities of Syra- Cuse to await an examiuation there, as a very large re- ward had been offered for their arrest. Sims was cou- victed two years ago of burgiary, and sent to tho State rison, but had been pardened out, The officers reached New York yesterday. Supreme Court. Before Hon.

Dyonisivs Lanpnan.—The Tribune, in it biographical notice of Dr. Lardner, ventures on the sratuitous statement that the Huraup attacked him on his arrival in this country, This is an unmiti- gated falsehood. Dr, Lardner arrived here in 184, as is well known, under circumstances which sub- jected him to much public notice in England. The elopement with Mrs, Heavyside, and the suit for damages which followed it, were the themes of lengthened comment in the English newspapers. The Heraxp, like all the other papers, republished them as matters of news. Editorially, the subject of them was not attacked or censured in columns. Dr. Lardner, on his arrival here, is vered a valuable course of leetures on science and art in this city, and the HeraLp reported them, as it has always done when lectures are worth re- porting. Dr. Lardner retired to Philadelphia, where he took up his residence in Arch street, and resided there privately for about two years, and there his eldest daughter, now about eighteen years old, was born. On leaving this country for Paris, in 1845, he became the correspondent of the HeraLp and of the London Zimes, and from thence furnished the descriptions of the grand Industrial Exhibition of all Nations. He resided in the Faubourg St. Germain, occupying the splendid mansion now owned by Mr. Payne of New York. Here he lived in elegant style, kept fine equipages and entertained superbly. In his house might be always met the leading members of literary, scientific and artistic so ciety of the continent of Europe. Being a highly accomplished man, and his wife (for he had previously married Mrs. Heavyside) an elegant and attraetive woman, their society was much sought after by the refined and educated, not ouly of France, but of all the continental countries. About two years ago he went to Naples, where Le resided to the time of his death, and where his widow and two daughters will probably remain, as Mrs. Lardner is the possessor of a large fortane in her own right. Dr. Lardner continued to corres- pond with this journal until within a few years pasi, when other heavy literary engagements in- terfered with that arrangement. So far, then, as the statement that he was the object of attacks from us, under waich his reputa- tion suffered considerably, as the Ziribune says, it has no foundation whatever in fact. oA Ol Obimary.

Samvet Dnt, died at Camillus, N. ¥., on the Ist inet., aged ninoty-one years, In 1808, as Major im the New York State infantry, he had commaad of the eatre Northern frontier, from the St. Lawrouce to Niagara, and General Winfleld Scott served under bim ag Lieutenant in the line In 1812 be removed to Auburn, being then Uni- ted States Commissioner, While a resident at aubure he took & very active purt in politics, and was twice olected = member of the Legistature from Cayuga county. He re- moved to Camiliua in 1829, and retiring from public hfe, devoted the remsinder of his daye to the pursuits of agri- culture. During his long life, Judse Dill maintained a spotiees reputation. For some time previous to his death be had been nearly blind, but he retained bis tacalties remarkably weil to the day of bis death. Mrs. Mary Taxtor Key died at Baltimore on Wednes- dny last, at the advanced age of 75 years. This venorabla Indy was the widow of Francie S.
